Junction Routes

There is a lot of discussion taking place on features relating to this article, see:

• unprotected vs. protected turns
• permissive turns

It is expected that further updates to the mod are required to correct some issues in current functionality

There are three types of route a vehicle can take across a junction:

• Unprotected turn
• Permissive turn
• Protected turn

Unprotected turns

The driver has priority over other traffic, but there is a risk of collision.

(todo: diagram)

Permissive turns

The driver can enter the junction, but must yield to other traffic.

(todo: diagram)

In reality this is still an unprotected turn, because there's still a risk of collision. However, the driver has to yield to other traffic, reducing that risk.

Protected turns

The driver must stop and wait for the lights to change before they can enter the junction.

(todo: diagram)

Protected turns are the safest, because they ensure dedicated passage for the vehicle when it crosses the junction.
